Nate Palan composed and performed the original music for Lions Don’t Hug, an off-Broadway play written and directed by Italian artist Stella Sacca and presented at Brooklyn Art Haus during its inaugural season in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The production stars Giorgio Cantarini (from the Oscar-winning film La Vita È Bella / Life Is Beautiful), Stephen Cofield Jr, and Skyler James Bailey, with Nate’s live music helping to shape the emotional landscape of the piece. This project highlights Nate’s work as a composer and performer for contemporary theatre, collaborating closely with an international creative team.
